Good Stuff Happening

One of the moms snapped this pic but I forget who! Thank you for taking it!

Oh, My. Goodness. If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been sitting on the other side of this screen fawning over the video performance of THIS group of talented performers.

Yes folks!! These guys took 1st place out of 86 schools at the Drama Teachers Association of Southern California competition! (#DTASC) They won Open Musical which is the toughest category. They did Bonnie & Clyde and they killed it! I am so proud of them. What’s neat about the competition is that you can only use four chairs as props. It’s so cool.

I got to spend the entire day following these guys around and I have to tell you… I just love being surrounded by talent and music and kids who are just so passionate about what they do.

Sigh.

Next up. We are hosting a Halloween party for theatre this weekend. Should be fun! Needless to say my reading has been sporadic. Need to get back into it next week.

Then, on 11/16 they get to perform at the winner’s showcase! It’s so exciting.

What are you up to this weekend? Dressing up? Parties? Do tell.

UPDATE: I didn’t post the video publicly but if I know you and you’d like to see it and you are not on Facebook, leave me a comment and I will send it to you directly. Some folks have asked and I am more than happy to gush about it.

Congrats to the Teen and his co-stars!! That is so awesome that they won 1st place!! How exciting!! Its always inspiring and fun to be around people who are so passionate about what they love and these kids sound like they have that passion in spades. Hope you have a wonderful Halloween!! I’ll be passing out candy and watching scary movies all night 🙂

Are you on Facebook? I posted it there for friends but don’t want it posted publicly to preserve their choreography and such. My recording is low quality bit still. On Oct 28, 2015 10:30 AM, “Book Chatter” wrote:

Congratulations to the son and his team!! That is so AWESOME! (And a fantastic thing to put on a college application.) No wonder you are so excited. And of course I want to see the video! I love watching your kids perform.
